Memories

A gift
Times of joy
A family
Pushed into times of war, emerging with sorrow
Awe-struck looks
Embracing the rich purple blankets
Encasing an artist’s ideas
Streaked across the pages
Once loved and enjoyed, now a gift once more
Sparking something
Igniting old memories
A window into past times of joy and sadness
Helping shape the future
Lighting the way
A dream, now reality
Spreading a wildfire of joy
What started as a single breath
Now filling my lungs
With the fresh air of hope
